The room is free and furnished. You’d serve as a Community Catalyst. Private bedroom (shared bathroom with one other person).
Free access to a hot tub, sauna, pool, and a large common room with tables.
Beautiful setting in the Alta Mesa part of Santa Barbara, near the ocean. 100+ residents living on the property.
You help activate and grow community (e.g., organizing and promoting events like yoga classes, meditation groups, and community talks) by putting fliers on cars/doors and verbally encouraging residents to attend and participate. You’ll also use Meetup and hand out fliers around Santa Barbara to reach beyond the community.
You should be happy and willing to devote a few hours each day to outreach, coordination, and relationship-building to support the above. Also includes light cleaning of the shared bathroom and kitchen.
I was a therapist in Colorado and recently moved to SB. While this initiative was requested, the community isn’t paying for it so I’d be covering your portion of the rent. Thus, part of your role will involve generating leads and scheduling clients for my counseling practice (outreach, networking, and invitation).
The search is for someone personable, organized, and proactive. You should feel comfortable talking to people and encouraging participation. Ideal candidates are interested in wellness, community-building, psychology, and spirituality.
March serves as a trial month. If things go well, there’s potential to expand the role and include profit-sharing in my professional practice.
If you enjoy bringing people together and turning “unused potential” into living community, this could be a great fit.
March is a trial period to see if our energies align.
There is no guarantee of residency beyond 3/31; extensions depend on the success of the trial.
Looking for a self-starter who is proactive, organized, and carries a welcoming energy.
**You get:**
• Private bedroom with panoramic mountain views
• Hot tub, sauna, pool, and communal gathering hall
• Shared bath/kitchen
• $0 rent / $0 utilities
If you are a facilitator of connection who enjoys the business side of wellness as much as the spiritual side, reach out with a bit about your experience. No pets in March, but if extended, a dog may be possible.
**Note:**
If you reply with only one sentence, there won’t be a response.
This role requires effort and follow-through.
Thanks!
This is open to be redrafted continually with members, but currently:
Your only job is to receive thoughts and feelings without comment. If you accept that is your job, sure you risk mayhem, but you are also grounded in the present. It’s unlikely that this will be your full-time job, but it’s a practice with aim of having this job each moment.
Jill Bolte Taylor had a stroke and temporarily lost her left brain. She felt bliss and unity, but perhaps our job is to bring compassion to the left brain and not demonize it as some spiritual teachers have done.
All you’re here to do is to be present for this moment. If a thought comes, say, “He’s having a thought”.
The mind wants to keep you safe so seeks to know what is/was, or may go… wrong/right.
What if you’re only here to see what’s arising now and register it without comment? If you accept this job, you’re fully present to do the
radical/ simple task of seeing “what’s happening now without comment”.
Life is simple if your only job is to see what’s happening now.
Your job: waiting to see what thought/emotion is here now
Ideally, we bring compassion to the desire, aversion, fear,
guilt, regret, anger, aggression, attachment, agenda.
If we can simply receive every thought / emotion without rushing to Suppress,
Agree, or Disagree (SAD)… to simply receive
every thought / emotion seems lazy … being irresponsible
I know it’s absurd to claim our only job is to receive thoughts and emotions without rushing to SAD. Maybe, bring compassion. This isn’t training. This is just a practice.
